Legos and Acrylic Paint

   My son is not very happy with me. The other morning, I borrowed some of his legos so I could use them on a page. I could not ask him if it was ok because he was still sleeping. So, I snuck into his room and got some. You may be wondering what I did them with. Well, I stamped with them and some acrylic paint to create a background for a Lego themed page. I had a lot of fun doing it, but I must admit, the page is busier than I normally prefer. Either way, it another page completed.

  My son was part of a homeschool Lego club. I wanted to make sure we took photos of some of the projects he made. After all, they are legos and are meant to build and rebuild with over and over again.

legos and number stickers unknown

  So now, the Legos are back in their proper place. I have made a promise to my son that I will wait to ask him before using his toys with paint supplies( no matter how much my creative juices are flowing). The world is right again and I have two more pages for my album.

    Christy I just love how you have created this page for the ARTastic challenge. I think it is great that you used real lego pieces as stamps for your background. Thanks for joining us this month.

    This is one of the most creative pages I have ever seen. Busy ... never mind, not too busy at all, just perfect I would say. I love the stamped background, your title work is so clever and turned out awfully cool, and I like the page layout as well. Awesome page! Thank you for playing with us at ARTastic.
